State Standards
http://www.dpi.state.wi.us/dpi/standards/
Subject Specific: Math/Time
D.4.1 Recognize and describe measurable attributes, such as length, liquid capacity, time, weight (mass), temperature, volume, monetary value, and angle size, and identify the appropriate units to measure them
D.4.2 Demonstrate understanding of basic facts, principles, and techniques of measurement, including: judging the reasonableness of an obtained measurement as it relates to prior experience and familiar benchmarks
D.4.3 Read and interpret measuring instruments (e.g., rulers, clocks, thermometers)
D.4.4 Determine measurements directly by using standard tools to these suggested degrees of accuracy time to the nearest minute
Technology Specific: http://dpi.wi.gov/imt/itlstfst.html
A.4.1 Use common media and technology terminology and
equipment
A.4.2 Identify and use common media formats
A.4.4 Use a computer and communications software to access and transmit information
Stated Objective(s)




Students will tell time to the nearest minute and identify AM and PM.

Procedures for Lesson


1. Using SmartBoard Notebook, introduce analog clock (Gallery-analog clock-interactive media).
2. Using SmartBoard Notebook, introduce digital clock (Gallery- digital clock-interactive media).
3. Discuss vocabulary: digital, analog, AM, PM, hour, minute, second
4. Ask students to decide if events are AM or PM (get ready for bed, eat breakfast, etc… What might you be doing at 4:00 AM?)
5. Bring analog clock back up on the SmartBoard.
6. Demonstrate with interactive analog clock: hours, minutes, and seconds.
7. Ask students to read different times on clock first to the hour, then to minute.
8. Once students have mastered telling time using interactive clock, take students to computer lab.
9. Students will apply acquired skills on math website:

Assessment or Evaluation



Assessment will be based on completion of activity on http://www.oswego.org/ocsd-web/games/StopTheClock/sthec3.html.
Enrichment


If students demonstrate a clear understanding of telling time to the nearest minute, they can be challenged by playing stop the clock against a partner, or by advancing to a more difficult level of online clock games.
